Definitions

  • This patent of invention relates to structural arrangement introduced in a photo frame, applied in the area of furniture decoration for the purpose of storage of photos or images in a closed and weather-protected environment, which aims to personalize the printing of photos and images and their changing, through the innovative constructiveness that uses the special fitting of the fabric, with the advantages of facilitating the process of taking/choosing the art to be printed, reducing the time necessary for the use of the product, easiness to use, lightness, being ease to assemble, flexible and easy to exchange photos, being non-destructive in the changing of images, using internal lighting, and allowing for communication with the user.
  • the apparatus has two opposing elongated frame members that are attached to opposite sides of a fabric. When the frame members are first mounted to the wall, the fabric will have slack, but the fabric is made taut when the user inserts removable elongated tension member(s) between the wall and rear side of the fabric. Preferably, two tension members are inserted between the wall and the mounted fabric and then slid in opposite directions toward the mounted frame members.
  • This apparatus and method allows a user to forgo cumbersome four-sided box frames, and instead provides a simple, easy to use apparatus for mounting decorative fabric-based images to a wall.
  • the assembly includes an open peripheral frame having a textile fabric fixedly secured across the frame.
  • the user embroiders any desired pattern onto the fabric and then quickly and easily obtains a picture framed work by fitting a member across the back of the frame.
  • a pleasing three-dimensional effect to the embroidered work is obtained by inserting a resilient pad between the embroidered textile fabric and the member.
  • a photo frame or shell fabric frame comprises a frame body defined by frame strips and shell fabric, placed out of a frame body in a cover mode, the shell fabric comprises parts of shell fabric G, portions of shell fabric H connected to portions of shell fabric G and portions of lining fabric F between pieces of lining fabric G, the portions of lining fabric G cover an upper surface, an outer side face and the lower outer surface of the body of the structure, the parts of the covering fabric H cover the inner side face of the body and the parts of the shell fabric F are arranged in cutting joints between the strips of the structure.
  • the photo frame or canvas frame with attractive and firm corners is of simple structure and reasonable design and includes the frame body and the cover fabric, the cover fabric covers the outer surface of the frame body and the fabric of the cover, and the corners of the side edges of the frame body are hidden in the clearances at the connection positions of the corner of the frame tie joint. In this way, the problem that fabric at the shell in the corner junction edges is fitted in an inflexible and uninteresting way is ingeniously solved.
  • FIG. 1 which shows the perspective view of the assembled photo frame from the present patent.
  • FIG. 2 which shows the exploded perspective view of the mounted photo frame from the present patent.
  • FIG. 3 which shows the exploded perspective view of the photo frame of the present patent, without the fabric.
  • FIG. 4 which shows the detailed exploded perspective view of the assembly of the photo frame from the present patent.
  • FIG. 5 which shows the perspective view of the assembly of the assembly/union of the mounting bracket with the profile and fixation of the lighting bar of the photo frame from the present patent.
  • FIG. 6 which shows the detailed perspective view of the shape of the profile of the photo frame of the present patent.
  • the photo frame of the present patent consists of four structural profiles ( 1 ) of special shape made of light metal, for example aluminum, with elongated “U” shaped channel ( 1 -A) for fitting the fabric trim ( 4 -A), with groove ( 1 -B) in a “C” shape for fitting the joining brackets ( 2 ), four joining brackets ( 2 ) made of light metal with two holes each and fixed on the tips of the profiles ( 1 ) by screws ( 3 ) on the inside of the profiles ( 1 ), tensioned fabric with printed art ( 4 ) of polygonal format and printed with ink, with a rectangular or square trim ( 4 -A) with seam ( 4 -B) on the edge of the fabric ( 4 ), lighting bars ( 5 ) of LEDs or similar positioned and fixed on the inner side of the profile ( 1 ) electrically actuated by force cable ( 5 -A), support ( 6 ) of rectangular section for fixing the plate ( 8 ), cover ( 7 ) of rectangular shape with material finish with
  • the photo frame of the present patent is assembled as follows:
  • the product will be manufactured and sent to the user, and may have more than one printed fabric, or one or more frames according to the number of images and measures requested by the customer;
